Jaguar identifies this as the ideal driving position

British carmaker, British Carmaker, has created a video to show you how to get in your car correctly.

Jaguar created a YouTube video that explains the best driving position. This position is not only ergonomically sound, but also maximizes safety and control. The video is well worth the effort, even if you are perfectly happy with where you currently sit in your car.

Although the first tip is obvious in retrospect, it surprised us. It will impact your driving position if you have items in your pockets. This is not a problem as modern cars have many compartments and cubbies to store your belongings every day.

It’s also important to ensure that you are sitting backwards. You should also ensure that your headrest and head are even.

To control the pedals, your elbows and knees should be slightly bent. Your shoulders should not touch the seat back when you turn the steering wheel.

You can dramatically improve your driving control, comfort, and safety by spending just a few minutes in your driveway. Although it isn’t the kind of video that we would expect from a car manufacturer we are glad they shared this valuable information with us.
